Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said Saturday on MSNBC’s “The Katie Pang Show” that former White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci is not a “partisan actor.”
Discussing the issue at a Select Subcommittee hearing on the Coronavirus Pandemic last week, Hwang said, “The efforts to spread disinformation and misinformation aren’t just happening in law schools, they’re happening in Congress, too. And the heavy lifting is on people like you and other Democrats in Congress who want to stop the lies. Is there anything that can be done to stop what happened to Dr. Fauci this week? Is there anything that can be done to stop that from happening in Congress?”
“The party of democracy, the party of freedom, the party of truth must be tough, no matter what. Dr. Fauci embodied that toughness this week. He is not a partisan actor, he is just a scientist. He said this is nonsense and absurd. Some of his Republican colleagues and critics said he created the COVID-19 virus to make money. They accused him of making any profit from COVID-19, but he flatly denied that and shut them up. I told Dr. Fauci at his hearing that they are treating him like a convicted felon.”
